Concerning...... removing a BBU and asking these sort of questions....not really DIY.

Never touch them, I have changed pumps by draining and then found them leak when I have not touched them!! If you take a pair of grips and firmly apply pressure to the front and back of the valve it sometimes clicks back into place and cures the leak. Worth a try seeing as otherwise you have...

It has never been the correct way of doing things. But things were very different 23 yrs ago. How long is the flue? I assume it is in excess of the MI's Seeing as this cannot be rectified I hope that the engineer capped the supply and you are in the process of replacing it. This is...

"Which is why you can reach us every day. Even over Christmas," To me this says you can phone us, etc everyday. Even over Christmas. Nothing else. People who complain about these things need to get a life.

I think this is quite a good, simple, straight forward boiler. It is B rated so there are more efficient boilers out there. I have changed a few PCB's on the HE version but I don't know of any ongoing issues. But don't buy the Suprima 30HE buy the same boiler made by Main. Main are...

A 3-Port valve lets you select HW or Htg whereas a mid position valve lets you select HW, Htg or both HW and Htg. Yes you can change a 3-Port to a mid position valve but there will be some simple changes to your wiring. Hope this helps

Thanks for your help Pour vinegar directly into the matrix. Took a while to drain. Kept on filling it up and then poured boiling water down. Suddenly with a couple of glugs the matrix suddenly drained. Ran a wash with the vinegar and it all seems fine.

Mr Rocks1 Thanks for your help. The matrix of the side does look pretty similar to your picture. I have confirmed that nothing is blocked. I want to avoid removing it as it looks very involved. I have cleaned what I can get at. I have been observing its operation with the sides off...

Thanks for your link, ransoms was where I had found the part details, but no picture. Took the bull by the horns and removed the part to get a better look. The leak was from the cold inlet where it sandwiches between the upper and lower parts of the drawer. It just slots in, not sealed at...

I have a John Lewis branded washing machine that has developed a leak. The water is coming from the rear of the dispenser draw. I have removed the top and thought it was the spring clip between the rubber hose and the draw rear but having replaced the clip I now see that the water is coming...

I may have missed this is a post. But I suspect that previously the service kit on the DV was changed and not the whole DV. And that has lasted 8 months. Now the whole thing needs changing. The original engineer was right, the second engineer was a waste of money. Call back the first...

Our dishwasher does not wash very well in specific areas of the washer, mainly the top shelf. The top wash arm hardly spins at all and water just dribbles out of in. The lower arm sprays much better and washes. The arms are clear The filters are clear The water drains away OK I have...

This exactly the reason my advise stopped. Get an RGI The APS is effectively a safety device with your boiler. No doubt you think we are just trying to cause you a problem..... quite the opposite.

Without seeing your house layout it is difficult to comment. I often see this. Attempts to zone the house that just fail. In one case a 3 storey house with a large open central staircase with the 3 stats on the on the landing of each floor. Effectively all in the same room and just 2.5m...

Don't remove the case, this is a positive pressure boiler. The fan supply is the 2 red wires coming off the PCB, far right as you lock at it. If you have power here it suggests a faulty fan. If not look at the air pressure switch before assuming the PCB. Hope this helps

No, my water is hot it just doesn't wash things consistently. Previously I remember opening the door mid session and being sprayed with water and seeing the arms spinning. Now the water pressure is low and the arms hardly spin. I suspect the pump motor is at fault. But I know very little...

Can someone hurry up and answer this as I have the same fault with my Bosch dishwasher. I suspect it is the pump which at £200 suggests new appliance.

Gas Safe Engineer required Although it maybe disconnected the uncapped pipe is potentially very dangerous and RIDDOR reportable If you were to cap the pipe you need to be able to test that your work is leak free. A Gas Safe Engineer will/should test the pipework for any leaks, cap the...

How close is the pump to the boiler? How hot are the pipes? difficult to measure but are they too hot to keep your hand on? if so where, at the boiler/pump. What sort of state is the Feed and Expansion (smaller one in loft) tank in. Is the water cold, warm, hot, is it black and murky...

Suggest you feel how hot the flow and rtn pipes at the boiler are. If they are hot and your rads are not then it suggests you have a circulation/pump problem. I'd say it is very unlikely to be PCB related. If you can try increasing the pump speed. Hope this helps
